About Borbala
Borbala (Bee) Shehata-Jakab is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with five years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She supports people aged 18 and over with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and questions around identity. Sessions are conducted in English and Hungarian and focus on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes.
Bee takes an integrative approach that draws on several established methods. She blends elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centred work. This allows her to adapt to the concerns a person brings and focus on what is most useful in the moment.
Her practice often centres on identity and personality within relationships. She helps people look at how early attachments and current patterns affect how they relate to others. Conversations may touch on abandonment, codependency, commitment worries or communication problems.
Practical tools are part of sessions when they help. Bee may use techniques such as journaling, chair work or imagery to deepen reflection. These are optional and introduced collaboratively rather than imposed.
She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career transitions, ageing concerns and the emotional effects of family change. People who prefer to speak in Hungarian can do so. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How her approaches can work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small actions towards those values, which can help with anxiety, stress and feeling lost after big life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bee discusses the options with each person and together they decide which methods to try. That choice is based on the person's goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions rather than being decided in advance.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel. It also allows people to keep brief check-ins that take less time than a full session, choose audio-only if they prefer not to use video, or schedule meetings that suit shift patterns and uncertain timetables. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan a practical format to suit everyday life.
